The Worst Call You Have Ever Made on Bombertalk
Re: The Worst Call You Have Ever Made on Bombertalk
I thought Shane Harvey was going to be a gun.
I also thought Jay Neagle would be a very good player for us. I liked him as I backed him for first goal a few times and won.
I was sort of pissed off we drafted Hurley and didn't draft Yarran. That was probably my worst one.

I said that we shouldn't draft Cyril Rioli as we had an abundance of quality in that area

We certainly need to draft a small crumbing forward at some stage this year!!

I really thought Lalich had potential. But that's cause he is Tasmanian.
I also always had faith that Ces would be all that as a ruckman... and once a year he was

I know I wasn't the only one with Cyril 'fess up!!!
Re: The Worst Call You Have Ever Made on Bombertalk
I was sure that Nash was going to be the next Watson and that Cupes would be another Ablett. I once said I enjoyed going to Victoria Park until I got my head kicked in after Tuddy flattened some Filth moron right in front of the Collinwood members and I cheered.
I thought that Atkinson was the best thing since sliced bread and that Johns was the new messiah. Tend to be from the glass half full school but can still make some shocking calls. All in the spirit of things I guess.
I love these Mea Culpa threads!!

Thinking at the start of last year that we were a strong chance to make the finals after an ok showing the year before...

I once said Angus Monfries was going to be a star.

Re: The Worst Call You Have Ever Made on Bombertalk
No you're quite right, I got Lalich confuzzled with that other star of the time, McAlister. Who I didn't have a massive amount of faith in.

Re: The Worst Call You Have Ever Made on Bombertalk
remember telling my brother in law once that the ONLY reason Gary Ablett jnr gets a game is because of his name and he was overrated ..
On the bomber front I tend to be very reserved in my judgement..

Re: The Worst Call You Have Ever Made on Bombertalk
I know someone that played TAC cup against Ablett and he said the only reason he got drafted was because of his name. He is a massive Geelong supporter as well.dodgey wrote:remember telling my brother in law once that the ONLY reason Gary Ablett jnr gets a game is because of his name and he was overrated ..

Re: The Worst Call You Have Ever Made on Bombertalk
Probably wasn't that bad a call at the time as he was a lazy forward pocket player at first. You would have never known he was going to turn into an absolute gun.BERT wrote:I know someone that played TAC cup against Ablett and he said the only reason he got drafted was because of his name.

Also my uncle said Scott Lucas was too slow to be any good.
